Alice Timberly (Madness)

A monstrous body, a broken mind.

0 · 472 views · located in Marvel Universe

a character in “X-men: Xavier and Magneto Unite”, as played by mr.me

Description

Name: (code name)
Madness

Civilian name:
Alice Timberly

Age: 18

Occupation:
Student

Alliance:
All in all, Alice is a monster that isn't really a monster, a girl ravaged and maybe will eventually find help. As for now, she is independent of any faction, be it the institute or the rogue groups. It depends: Who will take her under their wing?

Appearance:
Image

With two ponytails that swish in the wind and bloody red eyes and almost-constant grin that promised malice, Alice is surprisingly short when her powers are not active, only about 5' 4" at the very most. When her powers are active, however, she changes to a height of a towering 6' 5".

Personality:
Alice Timberly, or Madness as they call her, is a constant threat to the people around her, their alliances or connections nonwithstanding. She is of a different sort, preferring to play by herself. Mentally unstable and possessing incredible powers she has barely any control over, she is a loose cannon. The question is, which way will the loose cannon eventually fire? Alice, for lack of a better term, is a few plums short of a full fruit pie. She's dangerous and aggressive, quick to lash out at people for slight infractions. However, on the inside she is a rather sweet sort, only buried down by her tormented past. However, Alice is surprisingly caring and tender at heart, and feels some sort of connection with animals, since she believes that they are the only things not out for her demise.

Mutant Classification:
Beta {note: Subject to change.}

Powers and Abilities:

Alice has the ability to change her physical makeup, morphing and mutating her bones, tissues, ligaments, and organs into a living weapon.

Bone Behemoth- Alice morphs herself into a living nightmare, bones, tendons, and ligaments stretching and changing to become a nightmare incarnate on the battlefield. This form stands at roughly two stories tall, and trades in speed and mobility for pure unhindered power.

Raining death- Alice creates a weapon of sorts crafted from morphed and mutated bone and muscle tissue and uses hardened and strengthened teeth to fire at her opponents in a minigun-like fashion.

Unstoppable- Alice's body and bones are extremely strong and possess strength many times more than that of the average human. However, the sheer amount of physical power she wields at her fingertips and her whole body can cause physical strain on her, forcing her to have moments to recuperate and slow down.

Regeneration- Much in the fashion of Wolverine, Alice can regenerate her bones and tissues. However, she can only do this when she is not using her abilities or her powers, forcing her to have a moment of peril while she regenerates.

Acid Blood- Alice can cause her blood to become a very volatile, acidic mix that can easily combust and is highly toxic to any organic matter. However, this has a drawback to making her very easy to ignite and catch on fire.

Weaknesses:
Fire is a big danger to Alice, as her blood is very volatile and susceptible to flame while her powers are active. All of her abilities drain off of her, forcing her to stop at intervals and recuperate. She is a nightmarishly powerful mutant, but only so long as she has energy. And while she is able to take a lot of damage, her attacks are rather slow. She is also very easy to find if she is using her powers or if she is regenerating, as she grows to 6 foot 5 instead of her usual 5 foot 4 when her powers are active rather than her regeneration. She is seen at her 5 foot 4 stature in the picture above. She also has a darker side, with her mutant powers seemingly capable of controlling her at times, reducing her mentality to nothing better than a savage beast when in times of heavy mental stress.

History:
Alice is a bit of a saddened tale to hear. As a child, she had lost her mother to labor pains, leaving her father to care for her. However, with him being a mutant, he had the ability to control minds and manipulate others mentally. So, where better to hone his abilities than his daughter? He got what he wanted, using her to perform heinous crimes in his name once she was old enough, but at a horrible cost. She grew a sense of paranoia, feeling anyone around her would try to control her and hurt her. This also developed a hatred of mind-benders in general, and those with mental abilities. When her powers manifested, she immediately got to the grisly work of ending the life of her father. He had gone too far with her, and her mind was ravaged and in disrepair. Now, she is a force of nature, used to attacking others out of hatred and paranoia that they would attack her.

So begins...

Alice Timberly

The situation was getting louder and louder, even for her. She was getting so angry, oh so very angry. Something was building in her, something violent, something dangerous, something deadly. Something rumbled to life, something primal and monstrous, and something that made her smile that wicked smile that promised that you would die, that all that would see it would meet their grisly end. The voices inside began to speak their piece, all of them wanting more blood, more carnage, more death. The shifting feeling occurred more and more. The pool of blood that followed her on her path downstairs was thick and heavy, dripping down to the ground floor. She had been in the third floor. Now there was just a wreckage. Destruction and death, and that was just how she liked it. Her beast hungered, it always did. She wasn't a monster.... She couldn't be. Of course not. They were the monsters! Them! Not her! They all deserved it!

Her every step came closer and closer to the ground floor. Thump, thump, thump. Her heavy footfalls crashed against the floorboards as she began to descend down the stairs, or rather, thunder down on all fours. Slowly, steadily, her massive form reached the ground floor. Three pairs of red eyes took in the place. A man, who seemed to move plants, a woman who seemed to..... What was she doing? it didn't matter. The other man was what mattered. He was with plants, the plants that wanted to help. They never tried to kill her, only people did. Only they. Her twisted mind tried to make sense of this, only nothing made sense about it. She gave a low growl, and it was followed by a horrid, twisted scream, the lamentation of a thousand souls.

Now, that scream only seemed to complement the look she had. A human face was paired with three sets of red eyes, and two ponytails swished about. however, what this head was attached to was what was so horrifying. It had the look of a monstrous canine, only the skin was tattered and torn and stretched taught. The ugly monstrosity was found with all sorts of muscle and bone, the bones spiking out and calcifying in random places. Massive spines arched from the shoulders, and the belly was covered by plates of sorts. The head was also sporting some sort of massive teeth, sticking out of her jaw like anglerfish. The tail, studded with spikes all along the thing and with a weird contraption that looked something akin to a gun jutting from the tip of it. The tip was aimed at the group of six. X marks the spot, of course. Huge forearms, big as tree trunks on an oak tree, and hind legs, large as a man's waist, jutted from the huge body, which, now free from the staircase, had grown to the size of a bus and a half. She had morphed herself, weaponizing her own body. This was her power; the manipulation of herself. Slowly, the monster lumbered forward, saliva and blood dripping from her maw. She said only five words with her humanlike face.

"Geet Ouuuut oooof Myyyy Wayyyy....."

Magneto, Logan, Quicksilver, Philip Klein, Hideki Matsuzaka, Jean Grey

Magento, Jean and Quicksilver all rushed about the rapidly deteriorated building to rescue as many people as possible. Jean saw to the people hanging out of the windows. Some of them were a bit afraid to trust her being a mutant. She didn’t blame them really, for it was a mutant who caused the building to be in its current state. She hoped that a mutant rescuing them would serve as a counterbalance to the negative reputation these people had received.

Floating outside the building She spoke to a few people, their bodies half extended outside of the building via the windows. They were calling for help. “This is like September 11th all over again.” A middle aged man cried out.

“I’m Jean Grey of the X-men. I am here to help you escape the building. I need you to trust me okay. I’ll levitate a few of down at a time, but only with your permission.” Jean spoke calmly.

The people had mixed reactions to the telekinetically floating woman. Many were simply grateful for any manner of help out of the current predicament. Others spun conspiracy theories that she was working with the plant controller. And a few were on the fence with a decision. One woman stood before the group and addressed them in as loud a voice as she could muster.

“I can’t believe some of you! Some of you people would honestly choose to die here because your salvation from death is in the form of a mutant?! You have families and people who depend on you in your daily lives, and you’d choose to throw them all away out of some ridiculous pride?? Well shame on you for turning this kind woman down. I’ll spend not a moment longer with the lot of you if you feel that way. She’s more human than you if you’d throw life away because of foolish pride and prejudice!” The middle aged lady turned to Jean and spoke with a smile. “I’m ready if you’ll take me. Thank you young lady.”

Jean smiled warmly and replied, “It’s my pleasure to help and thank you for understanding.”

Following the Woman’s speech many of the others changed their minds and were begging for rescuing. Jean took as many of them down as she could at a time. The people still inside grew increasingly desperate as the plant growth continued and blocked the exit to the floor exit. After a few trips the people in the area were saved. Even the ones who were determined to still hold a grudge against mutants.

Jean levitated around the building once more to see if there were any more people in the windows. It was clear. She then telepathically connected with the others. “Magneto, Quicksilver how are things going?”

Quicksilver raced about the halls of the building. The paths were clogged with plant growth. Quicksilver replied, “Honestly this place is really beginning to make me feel claustrophobic. Too much longer and here and you’ll be crushed. I rescued about 25 people stumbling about the halls and rooms already. One of them was this really hot brunette named---“

“FOCUS Pietro
” Magneto interrupted.

“Um yeah, right. I don’t really see anyone else so can I head to the main fight now?” Quicksilver continued. He then saw a young man trapped under a large plant root. “Scratch that. There are a few more stragglers about. Gosh I hate being a hero, too much work.”

He dashed over to help the young man. “Hey there, I’m gonna try to get you out of here alright.” Quicksilver said to the young man who seemed in awe of him.

“My hero! Please tell me I’m not hallucinating!” The young man said. He appeared to be one of the captive mutants. “I’m a mutant too!”

“I’m the real deal buddy. I’ll try to lift this tree root of you. So I’m guessing super strength isn’t on your ability resume seeing as your beaten by a root
” Quicksilver teased as he began to lift the root that was pretty deeply grounded in the floor of the building. It was heavy to lift but Pietro was slowly managing it.

“Hey
 that wasn’t fair. Well I can camouflage myself. Pretty lame right? I mean you’re superfast and super cute too. You’ve got it all.” The young man replied.

Quicksilver paused for a brief moment, having been surprised that the young man was flirting with him. “Umm
 Ya know you aren’t saved yet Camo-boy. So you might not want to throw my focus from lifting this root and getting you outta here. Geez about to die and still finds time to get a hard on. That’s it I’m done with rescue missions after this one.” Quicksilver muttered.

The young man chuckled. “So I guess you don’t have super strength either? I mean that root is giving you some trouble it seems. Not that you look weak or anything. Actually you look just the opposite, really strong
” His flirting persisted.

“Hey Camo-boy, I can lift 1000 pounds of weight mind you. It’s just that this blasted root is pretty long and goes deeper than it seemed. Besides you’re in no position to poke fun, NO PUN INTENDED!! I mean come on, you can Camouflage yourself, how’d you let those goons see you to catch you?” Quicksilver retorted.

“They had heat vision goggles
” The young man replied in a disappointed tone.

Quicksilver was having little progress with the root so he decided to try something different. “I have another idea. I’m getting you outta here buddy. No worries. Super strength isn’t everything. There’s more than one way to skin a cat.” He placed his hands on the root and began to vibrate his molecules at intense speeds. This caused a reaction in the thick root and it soon deteriorated to pieces freeing the young man.

“H-How did you do that?!” the young man asked in an astounded manner.

Quicksilver smirked, “Molecular Destabilization has its advantages over super strength. Here’s a quick science lesson. Being able to vibrate my molecular structure at high speeds enables me to destabilize atomic matter by accelerating its molecules often causing it to fall apart or explode usually by touching it. I know, I’m smart and powerful”

“Why didn’t you try that first?” The young man questioned rather innocently.

Quicksilver immediately frowned up. “Hey smart ass!! You’re so lucky I’m a reformed villain. One more flip like that and I’ll leave you in here.”

The young man tried to stand but he had a pretty bad cut on his leg. He managed to get on his two feet but struggled greatly. Pietro could see the young man was trying not to ask for help walking. “You’re brave and tuff kid. I like that, even with that obnoxious mouth of yours. Come on, climb on my back, I’ll carry you outta here.”

The young tried not to shed tears, having been moved by Quicksilver’s kindness. He climbed onto Quicksilver’s back and held on tight. “You may have been a Villain but I think you always had a hero’s heart.” The young man said quietly.

Quicksilver tried to contain the gentle smile that fought to become visible on his face. “I just didn’t want you slowing me down any more. I’ve spent waaay too long in one spot. I’m a speedster you know, I’m breaking all the rules by sitting here shooting the breeze with you and literally letting the grass grow beneath my feet. Alright I’m taking off and don’t try any funny business while on my back Camo-boy or I’ll just as quickly become a reformed hero.”

“Hey I’m able to hug a hot hero, I’ve nothing to complain about here. I’m totally content.” The young man replied with a chuckle. Pietro simply shook his head and then took off. He made sure not to run too fast as the young man’s body wasn’t capable of handling high speeds.

They made it out of the building and quicksilver brought the young man to one of the ambulance vehicles parked outside of the building. “Here you go. I didn’t catch your name kid.” Quicksilver said as he gave the young man to the startled paramedics.

“My name’s is Tyler Briggs. How about you hero? A name for a name, it’ll be y secret.” Tyler replied.

“Fair enough Tyler.” Quicksilver didn’t want the paramedics to hear his real name so he whispered it into Tyler’s ear. “Pietro.” He then gave his code name as he stepped back. “You can call me Quicksilver buddy. Gotta go buddy. My teammates need help smacking around the one responsible for this whacked out garden show.”

“Smack him one for me please.” Tyler replied.

“Will do.” Quicksilver said with a slightly sad smile. He didn’t really want to leave Tyler. Pietro had grown kind of fond of him. “Hey, if you wanna talk and stuff look up Charles Xavier. He’s a pretty good therapist, you know for special victims and such.”

A few officers began to rush toward Quicksilver with weapons pointed. The paramedics and Tyler protested immediately. “He’s here to help! Let that man be!!” Pietro simply smirked and dashed off in the blink of an eye. He headed into the main lobby of the building only to see the X-men tea being confronted by the large creature that was Alice.

“What the hell is that?!” Quicksilver exclaimed.

“I think it’s some form of mutant.” Philip replied, as his eyes stayed fixed on the large being.

“Well good luck with that. I’ve rescued a bunch of folks, been sexually harassed, recruited a mutant
yeah I’ve done my part today, heading home now.” Pietro replied as he spun around.

“You get your ass back here and help dammit!” Logan shouted. He was still kneeling down recovering from the gashes left by the large plant bite. Hideki stayed by his side ready to blast Oliver or the large creature should it come any closer.

“Just kidding Wolverine. By the way you look like hell.” Quicksilver replied as he turned back around. “Anyway, I’ll keep the thing distracted while you lick your wounds. Hideki mind helping me out with a few flashing lights?”

“Sure thing. And please use my codename while we’re on a mission.” Hideki replied.

Philip added, “Memory and I will keep these two from escaping.” Referring to Oliver and Erika.

Oliver looked back at the large creature and didn’t know what to do. “Hey I just want to go home. I don’t want anyone dead. I don’t want to be here fighting X-men like some villain. I don’t want to be captured by HMR goons. Nor do I want to be mauled by whatever that thing is! Can we make a deal?” He pleaded with Philip.

“Yes we can. It would be my pleasure. So let your hostages go before that mutant over there tramples them. I don’t think it has much control over its actions.” Philip replied.

Oliver nodded quickly, “Deal! Erika please let them go.” Erika looked annoyed and furious but she complied. The once entranced people all scattered and ran in terror.

Quicksilver darted back and forth around the large mutant confusing it. It thrashed every which way he dashed. Hideki created blinding flashes of light to disorient it. It let out horrible shrieks that made it difficult to think or concentrate.

Jean and Magneto arrived just as Logan was fully recovered from his previous injuries. Jean immediately performed a mental probe of the mutant and found much fear, anger and confusion. She was of a strong emotional force at present and the probe began to overwhelm Jean. “She’s not in control of her actions. Please be careful not to hurt her. She’s just a scared girl.”

Magneto replied, “We shall try not to injure her then. Boom- Boom, Memory, what do you suggest?”

Memory replied, ”Try to subdue her with as little harm to her as possible. She’s still dangerous so be careful.” [ooc: Vivi I didn’t want Philip to be the only one giving out orders so I had Memory say something. Please feel free to change/ add anything when you’re available.]


Aidan, Frenzy, Kent, Evan, and Vernon

The Astral Creature succeeded in smashing through Kent’s shield and charged at the group. Kent immediately grew fatigued but the shock of the shield’s destruction. Frenzy quickly helped him up and moved him out of the way so he wouldn’t be stomped by the creature. Evan used his ability to pull energy from the earth and formed a focused blast of energy at the astral monster. The creature shrieked as it looked down at the burning gash in its chest left behind by the energy beam. The creature slowly attempted to regenerate the damaged area.

Aidan looked over at Jonathan, “I imagine he needs to get close to that thing. So we’re on distraction duty. What bigger distraction than a flying middle aged man.” He then looked at Robert with a slightly devilish grin. “You now have the wings of an angel and the flight skill to match.” Aiden spoke as he brought his powers in focus.

Robert would soon painlessly sprout a pair of large wings enabling him to fly and attack. “You take to the sky, I’ll take to the ground. We’ll give him a regular Blitzkrieg attack.” Aiden said to Robert.

[OOC: Lazyscreenname I took a few liberties here to spice it up a bit. Please let me know if you don’t approve and I’ll cut the bit about giving Robert wings. It’s temporary, but I thought it would be interesting for him to deal with. It also shows that Aiden will use other’s however he sees fit at any given moment.]

Alice Timberly

The colossal being gave one more howling screech as it covered its many eyes from the blinding flashes it constantly got, disorienting the huge thing. It gave a hiss, swiping one way and then another. One shot after another, just the only issue was she couldn't hit the thing Only, that was that moment where she realized a familiar feeling, something she was incredibly susceptible to.

The mental probe. Fear, pain, and confusion, and anger flooded her system as one flashback after another came to her. Memories of that monster, warping her sanity, erasing her conscience, ruining her and making her a husk, a mere puppet for his will. She immediately whipped her head toward the posse of other beings at the door, ones that she didn't know who they were, why they were there, what they were doing. The thing she did know was that they needed to go away. Her monstrous mind made that simplistic connection based upon past experiences. It made the connection that these were the people messing with her mind, trying to make it even worse! The woman, whose own power was far exceeding her control, was demonstrated when it let rip a roar of agony, pain, hatred, and anger, with a hint of panic and fear. Two huge paws slammed upon the floor before the beast of a woman gave a bellow and charged, her every stomping step cratering the floor below her and shaking the foundation. It was a sight that would impress even the Juggernaut as she stampeded forth, each huge, clawed paw propelling the titan forward. The mouth was agape, ready to tear and rend with the multitude of horrendous jagged teeth. She was ready. And she would ensure they would feel her monstrous wrath.

She was stampeding in the general direction of the group, although to many, they could swear the huge bus-sized beast had aimed itself straight for either Logan or Jean. Possibly both. The scared and scarred girl inside that hulking shell was a mentally ravaged mess, most likely something that would require weeks, if not months, of extensive repair from even the most powerful of psychics.

Nineteen years is a long time to have to make someone your puppet.

Magneto, Logan, Quicksilver, Philip Klein, Hideki Matsuzaka, Jean Grey

As the large mutant teenager charged at the group, Jean erected a telekinetic barrier in an attempt to keep her at bay. However the mutant’s charge had too much force built up behind it. Alice smashed through the barrier and continued her charge at Jean and Logan nonstop with little loss of momentum. Jean collapsed from all of the strain the breaking of the barrier caused and was unable to move to safety. Logan knew if he didn’t do something she’d be crushed by the two story tall mutant. He had little time to dodge out of the way himself yet alone carrying Jean. He had to take drastic action.

“I hate to have to do this but I’m outta options kid.” He muttered to himself quickly before jumping high into the air and landing on Alice’s back.

He extended his Adamantium claws and stuck them through the bone exterior and into the back tissue. It was extremely thick and dense bone but still not dense enough to repel Adamantium. The behemoth shrilled and staggered just enough to miss trampling over Jean. Alice bucked so much that Logan was flung from her back and back towards the ground. Fortunately Magneto was present and Logan’s metal coated skeleton could easily be manipulated by his powers. Magneto used his abilities to stop Logan from impacting against the HMR facility’s marble floors, not that Logan couldn’t heal up from the impact. However they simply didn’t have time to wait for an injured Logan to heal up.

“I hate it when he does that
” Logan muttered to himself as Magneto placed him on the ground.

With Alice now frantically headed in Philip, Memory, Oliver and Erika’s direction they needed to act fast. Philip clasped his hands together and they began to glow quickly filling up with mini time bombs. He tossed them in front of the group and toward Alice. They scattered on the ground around the large mutant’s feat and began to explode and burst making large popping sounds. She seemed stunned enough to halt her advance for a moment.

The monstrosity found itself halted as it yelped and shrieked in response, eyes squinted shut as she was bombarded by the multitude of light blasts. These disoriented her, forcing her to lumber back as she hissed. As she fell back, bits of her blood, freshly procured from the new wound upon her back, dribbled to the floor and began to eat away at the wood faster than a whole swarm of termites and maggots. Her corrosive blood was a highly dangerous compound, quite capable of decomposing most organic materials, like the wood floor she was now tearing up. The behemoth gave a growl, lowering her colossal body for a moment to glare at the group once more as the light that had so blinded her faded. She began her assault once more, this time, rather than a straight on charge, the behemoth took its paws into the earth, ripping apart a large part of the foundation and hurling the thing like a Frisbee, the piece of rubble flying straight for the group. This was followed up by yet another charge, each and every thundering step shaking the building she managed to rampage like this in to its very core. It was rapidly becoming a possibility that this weed-infested ruin of infrastructure was on the very verge of collapse.

Magneto, Logan, Quicksilver, Philip Klein, Hideki Matsuzaka, Jean Grey

The large monstrous mutant began to tear up the foundation around it. The blood from the back wound that Logan made began to ooze off of Alice’s back and down to the floor. Magneto looked on with great concern. The blood was highly corrosive. It ate away at the floor swiftly. He had never quite witnessed a mutation quite like this one. As Alice thrashed a large portion of the debree hurtled toward the group like a Frisbee. It was a very large stone and it was coming fast.

Quicksilver made a mad dash to grab Phillip and Memory. He wasn’t sure if he could get them to safety and come back for Hideki before the projectile struck but he was going to try his best. He was much relieved to see Logan grab Hideki and jump high over the large piece of debris. Logan shifted his weight in the air so that they would land resulting in Logan taking the brunt of the landing impact not Hideki. Logan landed on his back but needed a moment to recover from the heavy impact.

Magneto wasn’t as lucky as the others. He was able to magnetically shield himself as the debris collided with him. The shield absorbed most of the damage but the remaining debris left Magneto wounded and somewhat pinned to the wall behind him. Jean tried to move the debris but it was far too heavy. Oliver and Erika were at a loss for what to do.

Philip realized that Alice was growing increasingly agitated and thrashed about causing so much damage she threatened to bring the already crumbling building down. He turned to Jean and took charge once more. “Leave freeing Magneto to us. You are probably the only hope we have of calming her without having to try to take her down. If we don’t this building will collapse and we’ll all be killed, apart from Wolverine that is.”

Jean nodded in confirmation and headed toward Alice. Hideki helped Wolverine up after his healing factor seemed to have finished patching him up enough to stand. “You alright Wolvie?” Hideki asked innocently. “That was a nasty landing
 Thanks for saving me again.”

“Any time kiddo. But we need to go help Philip save his in law. If anything happens to Magneto there Charles would probably kill over in grief.” Wolverine replied.

The two rushed over to Philip, memory and Quicksilver. Quicksilver was frantically jabbing away at the debris at hyper speed like a jackhammer but still made little progress in freeing his father.Philip asked the frantic Quicksilver to step back and allow him to try. Philip then held his hands together and created a energy bomb that grew to the size of a beach volleyball. He placed the energy ball of bright golden light on top of the debris and it detonated sounding in a slightly muffled boom. A large chunk of the debris got blasted away but there was still much more to clear before Magneto would be freed.

Hideki tried blasting at the debris and more of it cleared away. Logan slashed the remaining slab and Magneto was freed. Quicksilver held onto him as he groaned quietly. “I’m getting my father outta here!” Quicksilver said and immediately dashed off with his father in arms.

“Well that was abrupt!” Hideki protested slightly miffed that Pietro showed only minor concern weather or not everyone else got out alive.

Erika seized the opportunity to flee the scene seeing that the X-men were distracted with freeing Magneto. Oliver wanted to leave as well but he couldn’t help but feel responsible. “ARRRHH
 I can’t just leave them!” He thought to himself. He then made several very large and thick branch like vines grow around the monstrously sized Alice, wrapping themselves around her limbs, binding her in place. “Now you’ve got your shot! So whatever it is you do!!” He shouted to Jean.

Jean began to telepathically attempt to reach Alice’s mind. There where quite a few barriers to break through. The wild animistic nature of Alice’s current form made it difficult to reach Alice’s true self. “Alice can you hear me? This is Jean Grey, I’m a member of the X-men. We’re here to help you. We don’t want to harm you but he can’t help if you can’t control yourself. We need you to fight through the rage. Find that quiet place in your mind. I believe in you. You can do this. Let my voice drown out all the fear. We don’t have much time.” There wasn’t much time before the building would collapse.

There was something in that monster, this was true. The being roared and raged as the plants held it down, held the monster in her place. She screamed these unearthly cries of rage and monstrous power, shaking the building as she glared. The being then seemed to stoop over and go comatose. There was something in its mind..... Again....

Blackness. That's what was seen in her mind. Inky, horrid blackness. And in the center of that swirling torrent of animalistic rage, a young girl desperately tried to free herself, constantly pulling at the consuming black. She was almost consumed. Almost lost to this inner beast that roared and turned and thrashed. She stared in horror at the monster running loose, it in control now, no longer just a little thing she could hide. And it was all because of that man she had called her father. He kept showing, in horrid smiles and laughter in the inky blackness. The same constantly recurring voice kept coming, again and again and again.

"You are nothing, nothing but a tool for my rage and hatred. You are a monster. You are below me. And you will obey me." Even after the death of her father by her hands so many years ago, his gruesome work on her mind still remained. She screamed again, a cry for help and a desperate plea to stop it, which landed on deaf ears. Her hatred of psychics weighed heavily on her heart. But.... She heard a voice. Someone else was here...... Someone else! The dark liquid seemed to push up, roaring as a masculine male face emerged from the darkness. It wasn't hers. It was a deep, booming voice.

"Alice isn't in charge here. I am. Her rage is. It was born of your horrid kind. It was born of a psychic, and her own father at that! I know what's best...... I know you must die, now. It is for the best. The best....." However, within that inky blackness, a small little head, terrified beyond belief and becoming more and more exhausted and more endangered to fall into the blackness.... Her small voice was heard, and she didn't care who could hear. Even the monster on the outside spoke these rumbling, pleading words...

"I'm drowning...... Help me....."

Matsuzaka Hideki, Jean Gray, Logan, Quicksilver, Oliver Greenhill, Philip Klein, and Magneto

Hideki looked around as more of the structure seemed to crumble around the X-men team. Hunks of the above floors were piece by piece crashing down. The foundations of the building trembled. “We should really get outta here
” Hideki suggested with a seriously anxious tone.

Logan looked back toward Hideki and placed a hand on his shoulder. “I’m not leaving here without Jean. You go on and make it to safety kiddo. Steer clear of the Feds and the HMR when you get out there. They may try to ambush you.” Logan warned. He wasn’t too keen on the idea of the others being left on their own during such chaos but he had little choice. There was no way he was going to leave Jean in such a situation. Scott would never let him live it down nor would Logan himself if something were to happen to Jean.

“Wolvie I don’t want to leave you
ARRGH I’M STAYING TOO THEN! I sure hope Jean can reach that girl in time.” Hideki replied.

“I’ll call the professor. Perhaps he can use cerebro to reach her. It’s the most powerful telepathic tool we have.” Philip said and as soon as his statement concluded he was on the radio device calling for Professor Xavier. “Professor! Professor! We need your help and Cerebro!”

In a brief moment the Professor replied telepathically, “Yes Philip I hear you. I am aware of the situation and I’m using Cerebro to gain access to the young Mutant’s mind now. There is a force that is dark and attempting to swallow Alice’s consciousness whole. I’ve broken through enough for her to regain control. She will help you survive the building collapse. You don’t have much time.”

Oliver looked even more freaked out when Philip relayed the news.”You’re professor wants us to WHAT?! Is he daft? That thing is supposed to protect us now? Oh I’VE HEARD IT ALL NOW
” He exclaimed in annoyance.

As the group bolted towards Alice the building began to make the loudest rumble it had made yet. This was the sound of all the top floors crashing down on top of one another. The building was finally about to drop completely on top of the team. “Quick, under Alice!” Logan shouted.

Magneto, Logan, Quicksilver, Philip Klein, Hideki Matsuzaka, Jean Grey

The wreckage and rubble from the collapsed building surrounded the X-men team. They were saved Alice the once monstrously sized mutant now reverted to her original form. Logan was the first to come out of his slumber. Covered in debris he sat up and looked around. This was a disaster zone and there were siren sounds for miles. He began looking about frantically for the others after he shot to his feet. He may have been able to survive a building dropping on him but the others couldn’t.

He found Hideki partially exposed from the rubble and pulled him complete to freedom. “Hey kiddo you alright? Stay with me Matsuzaka
” Logan said as he held the young man.

Hideki groaned and then opened his eyes to see Logan’s concerned face. Hideki smiled through a couple of coughs. “I guess I’m alive after all. I knew you’d save me Logan.” Hideki said in a exhausted voice.

Quicksilver and magneto approached the group and Logan quickly filled them in on what happened since they separated. “Magneto I thought you were injured. You should be back at the jet.” Logan inquired.

Magneto narrowed his brow and replied, “I’m FINE. I’m of better use here than sitting in that jet waiting for you all to get yourselves killed. Now allow me to free the others so we can leave.” Magneto fussed. Logan didn’t complain however Quicksilver was annoyed that his father refused to take it easy. Magneto lifted the rubble off of the others and they were freed. Everyone seemed to be fairly alright. Quicksilver rushed back to the X-jet and piloted it so that he could pick the team up from the wreckage and take them back to the X-mansion.

Once Magneto, Logan, Jean, Alice, Hideki, Phillip, Oliver, and Memory were onboard the jet Quicksilver piloted the jet into the sky. Logan, using the com link, contacted team two. “Team 2, come in. This is Logan, are you ready for extraction? We’re headed over.”

Aidan, Frenzy, Kent, Evan, and Vernon

Kent listened, pressed the com link and replied to Logan’s beckon, “This is Kent of team two reporting in. Yes Logan we are more than ready to go home. Our jet is still intact so we will head back on our own. Thanks and see you at home.”

Logan replied with a grin, “Copy that Kent. Oh and it’s good to hear you consider the mansion home again bub. It’s great to have you back. You’ll keep the rest of us sane.” Logan was honestly glad to hear Kent’s voice. It seemed like everyone was generally alright. At least someone had a success today, he thought. After a few minutes of travel the speedy jet arrived at the X-mansion.

All of the other teams returned around roughly the same time. As the team members de-boarded the jets they all looked like they had been through hell. They all faced considerable danger today. Professor Xavier greeted the group and saw a few new faces. He had seen them while he used Cerebro to monitor the various situations however this was a first meeting between him and the newcomers. “Welcome to some and welcome back to others. I am proud of your bravery and decision making today. You all as individuals did exceptionally well in such distressing situations. For those of you who do not know me, I am professor Charles Xavier and I welcome you to the Xavier and Lensherr School for Gifted Students. You must all be tired. Feel free to utilize this place as a safe haven for as long as you require. I will soon hold a briefing meeting once everyone has had a day to rest and revitalize. I will update you all tomorrow.”

Cain was still quiet and brooding since Andy’s death. Vincent saw Cain standing there in silence as if the world was sitting atop his brain. He gave Ryan a proud smile for his valiant leadership ethic out and the field and a pat on the shoulder before approaching Cain. ”Hey
 I know what happened out there and I wanted you to know that if you need me for anything I’m here for you. You did the best you could out there and there was nothing more that you could have done.”

Cain looked up toward Vincent and embraced him in his arms. “Brother
” He said as if exhaling for the first time in an hour. Vincent returned the embrace. It was nice to bond with Cain. The two hadn’t interacted much since their meeting. Cain stepped back from Vincent and replied, “Unfortunately there was something else I could have done to make sure that young man survived, yet I was weak and couldn’t bring myself to do it before it was too late. I won’t make the same mistake twice.” He said he reassuringly place his hand on Vincent’s cheek. Vincent was concerned with the state of mind his brother was in.

Scott and Jean hugged each other and kissed, simply being glad to be reunited. Scott hated being split up from Jean on their first mission since her return, however orders were orders. Logan stood not too far away watching the two of them. His face displayed a somber expression. Hideki walked up behind Logan and wrapped his arms around him. “Hey Wolverine, it’ll be alright. I’m here for you. We’re a mess let’s hit the shower.” Hideki couldn’t help by attempt to flirt with Logan.

Logan, smirking, slowly peeled Hideki’s arms from around him and turned to face him. “Yeah let’s Shower
 in our own separate rooms.” Logan chuckled. He began to take a few steps away. “That imagination of yours seems to be working pretty vividly so feel free to imagine I’m there. That should do the trick Kid.” With that Logan exited the hangar. Hideki huffed at his failed attempt at Logan.

Everyone filed away to their quarters and the guests were shown to rooms so they could rest for the night. Xavier decided to stay awake and monitor the mansion for activity over night in the event that one of the guests weren’t so honest about being neutral. Erik wanted to watch in Charles’ stead but Charles refused. He knew Erik pushed himself very far today and needed rest.

(OOC: Hey sorry for the lazy post. I had a lot of ground to cover and instead of hitting all of the individual teams situations and characters with personal references which would have taken a lot of time, I met half way on it. So you can assume all teams are back at the mansion. The guests would be Robert, Vernon, Evan, Alice, Aidan and Niles. (Maybe Keith is Daimoa is still with us.) So it’s still night time that same day, Feel free to have your characters interact and mingle as everyone ponders where to go from here. Cain will soon start openly speaking to others about starting his own team. If anyone has any special ideas post them in the OOC. I’d welcome them.)

Kent Van Pelt

After having settled into his room and gotten cleaned up, Kent got dressed in casual attire. He took a look at his X-men Uniform and pondered for a moment. “Is this life what I want for myself again?” he thought to himself. He had been a member of the X-men years ago and had only through the current turbulent events recently returned to the X-mansion to take refuge. He enjoyed being a journalist and standing up for equal rights for mutants, however fighting his battles as a journalist may not be enough in a time where people are so violently discriminative against mutant kind. Even mutants were acting out in confusion. Kent figured the time was now to start leading by example and the best way to do that was assisting the X-men once more.

After placing his uniform back on the hanger in his closet he decided to get something to eat. Leaving his room he started down the hallway. He saw Evan emerge from a room a couple of doors down. Kent smiled and waved at the newcomer. He was glad to see him still at the X-Mansion. He had hoped that Evan and Vernon wouldn’t have left. ”Hey there. I’m glad to see you decided to stick around. This is a safe place to be.” Kent said to the Evan.

Even was glad to see Kent, one of the X-men he’d encountered earlier. After being brought to the X-mansion post the battle at the HMR building site he and Vernon had spoken with Charles Xavier. Evan was a lone wolf aside from relying on Vernon so deciding to stick around took some convincing. Evan walked beside Kent. ”You’re name is
 Kent right? I’m Evan. It’s nice formally meet ya mate.”

Kent replied with a casual smile, ”Yeah likewise.”

Evan continued, ”Yeah
 Vern and I had a chat with the Professor and after our little tirade today Vern convinced me that this place is the best place for us to lay low and for me to keep out of trouble, for the time being anyway. Hey and um
 thanks for not turning us in earlier.”

”Hey I’m just glad that we all made it through in once piece. So are you and Vernon hungry? I was just on my way down to the kitchen to fix something. Food tastes better when you’re not eating alone.” Kent replied. He felt it was nice meeting Evan off of the battlefield. He seemed to be a fairly nice guy not as hot headed as before.

”Um sure. Vernon’s asleep in the room I’ll text him and maybe he’ll join in if he wakes up in time. Thanks for offering mate. I just hope you’re a good cook.” Evan chuckled. Walking through the halls Evan bumped into a young woman who seemed a bit nervous.”Oh! Sorry mate I wasn’t watching where I was going.” Evan said as he began to extend a hand to assist the girl.

The girl in her panic sprouted multiple spiked tentacles that erupted from her back, writhing and doing miniature screeches. "S-Sorry. I didn't mean to...... to bother you!" She had also suddenly grown in height, all of a sudden an astonishing 6 foot and 5 inches tall.

Evan and Kent stepped backward in bewilderment of the scene unfolding in front of them. ”What in the hell
?” Evan said as he tried to keep it together. He wasn’t used to being in a place full of mutants that had all manners of insane abilities.

Kent didn’t recognize the girl at first. But then he realized that she must have been the one that Logan’s team brought back with them. Kent had seen some of the television reports that covered the incident from earlier. Sightings of a huge monster were reported as an HMR building collapsed. She must have been the mutant the professor asked everyone to keep an eye out for since she was unconscious when she was brought to the mansion. Extending his hand in a calm and collected greeting gesture Kent spoke. ”Hi my name is Kent. This is Evan. We’re sorry to have startled you. You’re at the Xavier and Lensherr School for gifted students. You’re safe from harm here. I was about to fix something to eat. Care to join us?”

The suddenly titanic woman found herself glance to the side for a moment and rub her arm before she managed a soft smile and a little nod before taking his hand. "Well...... I mean, okay......" The tentacles seemed to writhe as per the norm, and she managed a sheepish glance at the ground. "S..... Sorry, I really don't have the hang of this yet.... Okay, I don't have the hang of this at all." She rubbed her head and her head tilted earthward as she gave a prolonged sigh. She was just happy for the current influence she felt. Well, at least she was okay, even though her powers were active.... Wait. How was that a thing? Her father's psyche should be running rampant. Okay, that didn't mean she wasn't grateful for that, but..... That shouldn't be happening! She realized she was thinking to herself and looking weird, mostly due to her wide eyes and clutching of her head. She quickly composed herself as much as she could and placed her hands at her hips, attempting a smile. Of course, with her powers activated, what they saw was a gaping jaw filled to the brim with crooked, carnivorous, gaping teeth that looked easily able to shred metal apart. She didn't actually know that was an issue, and thought she was simply giving a pleasant smile. Of course, the teeth kind of ruined that front. "So...... Uh..... Where am I? I don't honestly know....." She managed another sheepish smile before rubbing the back of her head and glancing off to the side. One of her tentacles seemed to pat her shoulder.

Either way, she had two mysteries to solve. One..... why wasn't she going insane? Two, why was the source of this force stopping her inner psycho?
